Scammers are criminals. The best way to stop a scam is to spot the red flags!

Have you ever heard of a cryptocurrency (crypto) ATM before? Do you know what crypto ATMs are used for, how they work, or where they’re located? If you answered “No” to any of these questions, you're not alone!

AARP Florida and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) urge Floridians to beware of cryptocurrency ATM payment scams.
